Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam:

The judgment is affirmed. Lane v. Wilson, 307 U. S. 268; Yick Wo v. Hopkins, 118 U. S. 356. Cf. Williams v. Mississippi, 170 U. S. 213. Mr. Justice Reed, in view of the fact that a constitutional provision of a state is involved, presented by the Attorney General, is of the opinion that probable jurisdiction should be noted and the case set down for argument.
